In three weeks, our family will be moving to another state. Of course, this means we are frantically trying to get EVERYTHING IN THE ENTIRE WORLD DONE before we leave. (Hmmm… am I a little bit stressed?) I feel a need to try to “tie up loose ends” in my calling, and, of course, I’m […]

The Father has a body of flesh and bones as tangible as man’s; the Son also; but the Holy Ghost has not a body of flesh and bones, but is a personage of Spirit. Were it not so, the Holy Ghost could not dwell in us. A man may receive the Holy Ghost, and it […]

Posted on March 30, 2005 - Filed Under Scripture Discussion | 45 Comments
One of my pet peeves is when we talk about exaltation as though it were merely a reward or merely a location.
